Factor Model

A mathematical calculation of the extent to which macroeconomic factors affect the securities in a portfolio. Factor models attempt to account for contingencies like changes in interest rates or inflation. Factor models fall into three main categories. A statistical factor model attempts to explain risks particular to an investment. A fundamental factor model looks at risks to an industry or market that may affect a portfolio. Finally, a macroeconomic factor model considers relevant risks to the wider economy. See also: Risk analysis.
